The kids get ready

While the Disney trip is still a long way off, the kids' excitement level is in high gear. They put their stamp on the tag chart project (tutorial for the fabric chart on Wednesday) with a little art project. I gave them a scrap paper file and a large tag punch, and had them punch out 30 tags. Not only was it a great motor activity, but it gave me a good thirty minutes of interruption free kitchen time! Then i brought out the markers, ink and stamps, and let them go to town. Polka dots were a definite favorite! Next, a numbering from one to thirty. A few ribbon ties and we have count down tags for the big vacation. Or punch some orange and black ones and we can count down to Halloween. A versatile project!
